Social Studies Reflection Home Christine George 6-Mannon
Which chapter in World History did you enjoy most this year and why?
-If I had to choose what chapter that was my favorite that we went over in social studies, I would definitely choose Chapter 13! There are many reasons on why I like Chapter 13 so much one is because, Mr.Cupples had us do a quick little project that would only take about 2 periods of social studies! -For that project we got to choose an ancient West African kingdom, and the choices were Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. We got to choose our partners and I choice Shawnn. Shawnn and I decided to choose Mali for our project because we liked the name and it reminded us of our friend’s dog. Anyway, we had a lot of fun working on it. Mr.Cupples had lots of ideas for us to do like he said we can ether do a story, poem, or maybe even a rap. Shawnn and I decided to do a rap on Mali. All we cared about is the rhyming and it making sense! Anyway, Mr.Cupples had us present it in front of the whole class for extra credit! When we presented though we didn’t sing but we tried to. -The next reason why I liked this chapter was because in one lesson it was about like the Climate Zones and such. Which I know very much because in science class when we went over Climate I got an A on that test! Anyway again I thought I would be neat to learn more about it!
Describe some of the things that you learned in that chapter. Is there a project that you completed that you enjoyed working on?
- I learned a lot of things when we went over this chapter like the African Empires, the African Kingdoms, and Climate Zones! -We also got to do a quick little project in this Chapter involving a rap that only took about two periods to do! Like I said earlier in this summary one project was that we got to choose an ancient West African kingdom. It was a lot of fun and a great way to learn the chapter! -Yeah but it really helped us learn about it so that was a good way to teach us!
What new skills have you learned throughout the year?
-Some skills that I have learned throughout the year were that if you really want to do good on a test you NEED to pay lots of attention in class when the teacher is talking, and I bet you would get a really good grade, and you also need to study hard; you can’t show up to Social Studies not ready for your test and showing up without your textbook.
How can you apply this knowledge to the real world?
-For when we went over the maps and stuff, Mr.Cupples taught us more about map skills. Map skills can help me for when I grow up and I am in places where I don’t know where I am, I can just pop out my handy-dandy map and find way back home.

Christine- I’m going to tell you about something that you never heard before. We took a tour to find Ghana; it’s all the way in South Africa! There are salt mines that take a long time to Find. Shawnn- We decided to look for gold, cooper, and some salt. It was all there fault.the Soninke people where the empire, for there desire. Christine- It was not till then when we found a safe route. We had a bad idea to jump off the roof. Shawnn- until Samangur the king had to stop us. Christine- oh! That king.. He is always in such a rush! Both- it ended in 1,000 A.D so there was no money! …Christine- to learn more visit us at www.findghana.com! ..Trust us its not there mom. Christine- it took a long time so we decided to bust out a rhyme!
